Not gone mad, just nuts

[Notty]

beam me up Scotty 

[KiwiCol]

OMG!  That is just mind moggling fecken dumb!  Rules are rules, but for god sake, it says 3 nut butter.   Come on world, anyone who has an allergy to nuts, of any sort, would be very foolish to be eating peanut butter of any sort.  Now if they are allergic & they do wish to eat this product & can not see the big words on the front of the jar, then how would they see the small print on the reverse?


PC Bullshit IMO.  H & S fecken madness    2c worth from down under.

[Sweaty]

Spot on Col.
FFS, it is Peanut butter & says Peanut, Pecan & Walnuts in big print on the front.
The issue will be, that they will have to have it on the contents section, because some Scumbags will notice it missing and use it to sue them for millions. There should be a Stupiditty clause.

[VladTepes]

No wait...




although it is 3-nut butter and it's really dumb so...

Health and Safety has gone mad...
Signs have been put up next to each wash hand basin at work stating..."Caution Hot Water"..Really!! No sh*t Sherlock

You mean to tell me that Hot water is Hot. Imagine that.
How did we ever get through uninjured before the OH&S team came along

[froudy]

I know Sweaty, it's a bloody joke.
The drinks machine even has H&S stickers on it stating that drinks could be hot and "May contain milk"...WTF is that all about??

[VladTepes]

I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people...
I'm just saying let's remove all warning labels and let the problem sort itself out.

Technically any one born and raised prior to the 70/80 when all the signs made us safe shouldn't have survived!


Raise your hand if you survived a childhood in the 60s, 70s, and 80s that included one or more of the following, frowned-upon activities (raise both hands if you bear a scar proving your daredevil participation in these dare-devilish events):
1.Riding in the back of an open pick-up truck with a bunch of other kids
2.Leaving the house after breakfast and not returning until the streetlights came on, at which point, you raced home, ASAP so you didn't get in trouble
3.Eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in the school cafeteria
4.Riding your bike without a helmet
5.Riding your bike with a buddy on the handlebars, and neither of you wearing helmets
6.Drinking water from the hose in the yard
7.Swimming in creeks, rivers, ponds, and lakes (or what they now call *cough* "wild swimming")
8.Climbing trees (One park cut the lower branches from a tree on the playground in case some stalwart child dared to climb them)
9.Having snowball fights (and accidentally hitting someone you shouldn't)
10.Sledding without enough protective equipment to play a game in the NFL
11.Carrying a pocket knife to school (or having a fishing tackle box with sharp things on school property)
12.Camping
13.Throwing rocks at snakes in the river
14.Playing politically incorrect games like Cowboys and Indians
15.Playing Cops and Robbers with *gasp* toy guns
16.Pretending to shoot each other with sticks we imagined were guns
17.Shooting an actual gun or a bow (with *gasp* sharp arrows) at a can on a log, accompanied by our parents who gave us pointers to improve our aim. Heck, there was even a marksmanship club at my high school
18.Saying the words "gun" or "bang" or "pow pow" (there actually a freakin' CODE about "playing with invisible guns")
19.Working for your pocket money well before your teen years
20.Taking that money to the store and buying as much penny candy as you could afford, then eating it in one sitting
21.Eating pop rocks candy and drinking soda, just to prove we were exempt from that urban legend that said our stomachs would explode
22.Getting so dirty that your mom washed you off with the hose in the yard before letting you come into the house to have a shower
23.Writing lines for being a jerk at school, either on the board or on paper
24.Playing "dangerous" games like dodgeball, kickball, tag, whiffle ball, and red rover (The Health Department of New York issued a warning about the "significant risk of injury" from these games)
25.Walking to school alone

@horse
I was born in 1961 and I can proudly say that I did 23 things from your list...
We did shoot at each other with air rifles too AND make gunpowder...And I once hit a railway line warning detonator with a hammer

And I'm still alive to tell the tales 

[KiwiCol]

As a kid, I put a shotgun cartridge in a vice & hit the centre with a hammer & nail.       Went off alright! could of blown me wee feet off.
To me it was just a bigger fire cracker.  I came away unscathed from the shell, the concrete floor had pits in it & my ears were ringing from the shell & the clip I got.

[Horse]

Half my delinquent youth was spent burning, shooting or detonating something got a few scars but am still alive, and I learned from every mistake I made if you let your kids push the boundary's now you will get reported for some form of abuse. No mistakes , no consequences = little to no learning   

[grog]

Horse, great list. Reckon i did all of them. Will try n think of other stuff we got up to.
